Yes, not only are random beer adds popping up in feeds, they seem to be the same random beer adds for everyone. A bizarre bug.
I came here to share more experience, and I agree with imdownthepub.
There are 3 active raters in Vancouver besides myself; the activity feed was the best tool to track what they were up to on a daily basis so I could plan what to do after work or the next day; now it takes me N times more effort to achieve the same (and therefore Iām not relying on that page anymore); nothing new, the main reasons are:
- disperse information because of largely inefficient layout
- buried information, because I get more updates from faraway places and people than from friends
- one of the most active local raters is not an admin; heās responsible for 98% of non verified local beers; I canāt track his activity anymore, none of the beers he just added are visible, but luckily katrinaez added Dogfish Head Mildly Darkly (who da hell is katrinaez???)
Also, the first time I open the bookmarked page, even if Iām logged in, I see a message saying that Iām level 1 of something; e v e r y . t i m e.

For me too! Iām working on this with the other programmers.
Am getting good feedback in other places such as when a really neat beer comes out and is either a limited release or will be gone soon, or might require more rates, you can create a flag so that people that follow you will get the message.
Whatās with all the Stone Enjoy Bys I see added in my feed?

You should be working to resolve the activity feed issue!!! Selective reading skills you have are over 9000.
This might be related to a sign in issue? If Stone is a favorite brewer, you should see them. If you arenāt favoriting any brewers you also might see them? Iāll check in with the code as well.
Thanks for providing incentive to attend to forum feedback. When given a myriad of options everyday about where to focus oneās time, attention and love, itās easy to forget about the angry and disrespectful voices out there and attend to more agreeable needs of the company. But itās important to remind myself that these problems donāt only affect the louder, poorly-behaved people out there but the good and possibly quiet ones as well.

I get the same thing. I follow 14 breweries and get beers from breweries i dont follow, added by people i donāt follow and who live far away from me. Way more often than beers from brewers or people I follow.

That feature was a tough one on the servers but I want to do as good as we can with a replacement.
Iām wondering if I can simply provide a button to the forums to congratulate and have a forum for milestones?

Provided week ago in a proper channel where all bugs should be reported: BUG New feed layout
0 response by your side. You prove my point that you answer only to easy question which you can understand.
PS. I wrote this msg very slowly 'cause I understand that you are a slow reader.

Wow, the coding of this feature was a lot easier than expected. I was also able to add a link to send a private note to a friend with a milestone as well.
This is tested and now rolled out and live.
I did look into a test that would detect of a topic already exists for a given milestone but didnāt find anything at Discourse, unfortunately.
I hope you all enjoy the new features. And thanks again for your feedback and encouragement.
Have a great weekend.
